Ringkasan program

This program is designed to further develop the student’s understanding of geographic perspectives and to assist the student in identifying and addressing specific and significant geographic research questions. Students without a previous degree in geography are encouraged to apply. Students without previous course work in human geography, physical geography, and spatial techniques, may, however, be required to add hours to their program of study. The addition of hours to a program of study is determined on a case-by-case basis during the program planning interview in the student’s first semester and will reflect the faculty’s appraisal of the student’s experience and needs. Courses taken to strengthen the student’s background in geography may count toward the course work required for the M.A., but only if approved by the student’s graduate committee. This option is a nonthesis program designed for students who have a specific professional goal in mind and who do not intend to continue for a doctorate. A student must consult with their advisor to arrange a program of study that is acceptable to the supervisory committee. Thirty-two hours of graduate-level work are required, including a two-credit hour Master’s Report (GEOG 898). Up to twelve hours may be outside the geography department. The student must complete at least one course, which may include independent study, with each member of the supervisory committee. Procedures relating to the preparation of a master’s report are almost identical to those relating to the thesis, including the formal proposal of the topic, except that approval of the topic may be given by the individual faculty member supervising the report.
